Anglian Water offers a free home water-saving kit (waterproof shower timer, water-efficient tap inserts, a “save-a-flush” bag that saves a litre per flush, gardening swell crystals) and a separate free garden kit (water stick, water-retaining mats, lavender seeds, an RHS drought-resistant plant guide).

Check your postcode eligibility and order via Anglian Water’s save-water pages – available to customers in Beds, Bucks, Cambs, Essex, Lincs, Norfolk, Northants, Notts and Suffolk.

Stock can run out periodically and replenishes, so it is worth checking back if unavailable.
